Breast Lift

During whole life, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and the gravity make their influence on a woman's breasts. Because the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts lose their shape and stability and the process of sagging begins. Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that is performed to raise and reshape sagging breasts.

Mastopexy can reduce the size of the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple). If your breasts are small or have lost their shape (after pregnancy for example) breast implants inserted in combination with mastopexy can increase their stability and size. If you're thinking about a breast lift you have to know basic information about the procedure: when it can help, how it's performed, and what results you can have.

You can't have an answer to all of your questions at once, because many things depend on your individual health conditions. Don’t be afraid to ask your doctor everything that is interesting you if there is anything about the procedure you don't understand.
